Is your boat a DS I? with an open cockpit, Sailors Tailor is one source for Day Sailer Cockpit covers, but any good canvas shop can make a cover if they measure the boat (they might already have a pattern anyway). SAILOR'S TAILOR also sells complete boat covers for the DS both for use on the trailer and in the water. They may have a good deal listed on the Day Sailer Class Association web site www.daysailer.org
The DS II and DS III both have "self-bailing" cockpits and should not have a probelm being uncovered, I have a DS II and don't cover the boat on the mooring. Even the DS I can be left uncovered, but having at least a cockpit cover (boom tent) will keep out the rain and will keep the inside cleaner and help the varnish (or paint?) on the woodwork last longer.

Thanks for the info Sunbird22358. I have a ds I and I am new to these boats and this website.I am learning something new almost every day.
